#15 -rpath hardcoding causes build to fail on various systems

[Anonymous]

Hard coding the -rpath option to libtool causes symbol
referencing errors as below. I removed all -rpath
options from various Makefiles whenever I had a symbol
reference error and the library compiled without a
problem. I had this problem on a Slackware Linux 8.1
system, a Solaris 9 system, and a Solaris 8 system.
There was no problem compiling on a Slackware 9.0
system. The Slack 9.0 and the Solari had gcc 3.2.2,
the Slack 8.1 had gcc 2.95.3.
An example of the error is below:

Bug related to obsolete autotools build system and now very old compilers.
